The cost of managing a domain portfolio is like compound interest — the more domains you add, the higher the renewal costs climb year after year.

It’s tempting to hold onto every domain ‘just in case,’ but cutting domains without a proper risk assessment can open the door to serious security issues, as this article points out.

Hi, you could have blog.yourdomain.tld and yourdomain.tld in the same certificate for free.

edit: to make it simple you have the right of one sub domain and the root domain without subdomain. As soon as you need more than one, you will need to go for a wildcard (which is not free).

True, it's not the cheapest but EuroDNS is more service oriented with a free mailbox, a free ssl certificate, 4 name servers with Anycast nodes. And the renewals remain usually at the same price, and not the first year under the real cost price as some does in the industry.

We wanted to provide an interface where people not in the domain industry could realize the huge number of domains that are now available on the market. The aim is not to give a 100% accurate search result but to give a quick overview of what is still available or not on a single string. The search is based on zone files and other static sources which don't include the premium names nor the "Trademark Claims"

I'm open to feedback of course!

Cheers.

Thx for the feedback, Steve. I know, this is part of the side effect of using zone files as main data source. We tried to import most of the blacklisted domain lists we were able to find. Concerning the premium unfortunately the registries didn't want to share their list with us as we are not an official accredited registrar.
